    Definitely some kinda abstract candy. Phantom forces was Halloween themed and they went all out with night march etc. the ditto was released in the same time frame as phantom forces too.

    So, from what i heard, this was a throwback to the OLD pokemon starter boxes and booster boxes, back in the 90s sets you would always get (not very uniformly made) glass pebbles to mark energy and/or health, they came in all sorts of colors and had Many strange shapes, for a while people viewed them as a cannon way to picture what energy looked like if you could view it.

      @@ConnorSinclairCavin Not sure what you mean by that, given the glass beads lasted only until the end of generation I iirc; and were changed out for the cardboard counters in Neo Genesis' decks. I think the only real difference Pokémon's early damage counters had compared to what you'd get in floral/aquarium supplies was that they tended to be a bit more oblong. I know they were colour-matched to the decks, too, I was there lmao.

    In the two-part episode "Deoxys Crisis!" the DNA Pokémon comes from a pocket dimension that's filled with these floating jellybean things.
    Perhaps theyre some form of solidified psychic interfimensional energy, and when Deoxys came to our dimension some of these things slipped through the crack and came to our world, then they started self replicating and now they're everywhere.

    If you got the original box, they came with blue and green rocks that were slightly translucent. They would essentially act as hit markers in game. They stopped shipping them after the starter decks with the game boards and starter series stopped being sold. I even wanna say there is an episode that makes note of these btw in the original series. I grew up waiting weekly for new episodes and watching every rerun till the new one was on… so I kinda remember those fondly. That being said I could be wrong but it’s my first thought.
